I got this case for my Canon G15 and it fits nicely inside including the stock camera strap. It's well padded and provides good protection from bumps and scratches.

The body of this pouch is decent. The interior is soft, it offers dual zippers, and the only complaint I have about the body of this pouch is that the front zippered pocket is so tiny, it's next to useless. They should have opted for a pocket that has an exterior volume, such as you'll find in a Tamrac of similar size.

However, the real problem is the attachment system. Any decent pouch has a permanently sewn belt strap. But not this one. No, they chose to use a closure mechanism of... velcro. Yes, a cheap patch of velcro. For a belt strap, a velcro closure means you'll lose your pouch if you laugh too hard especially if you strap it to a shoulder strap, rather than a belt. Oh, and they have a secondary method a flimsy half-inch single snap closure. This is unbelievably poorly designed.

If you get this pouch, you can maybe keep from losing it on your first week if you superglue the snap shut. However, the velcro is going to shred and tear apart any strap or belt you put this pouch on.

Pearstone needs to get rid of these gimmick closures and put on a proper webbing strap that's permanently sewn on both ends.

Until they do, know what you're getting before you buy this.

It is quite nice neoprene (seems like neoprene) but closure can't be trusted. Lightweight plastic slide "lock" doesn't hold well.
